How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What happens to a man is less significant than what happens within him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22640]]></link><description><![CDATA[What happens to a man is less significant than what happens within him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10407]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Errors are not in the art but in the artificers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hail!

For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Either Zeus came to earth to shew his form to thee, Phidias, or thou to heaven hast gone the god ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Either Zeus came to earth to shew his form to thee, Phidias, or thou to heaven hast gone the god to see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My coach saw I was hitting in the first quarter, so he just told me to keep shooting.
